Griff Sundays
Every Sunday I'm gonna post about Griff, maybe his gang too idk.
Griff’s Little Helmet Thing
This week’s Griff Sunday is dedicated to that weird Helmet he wears. What’s up with that?
Griff Sunday
Today we are celebrating Griff’s super-cool hoverboard. Can’t believe he got a Pitbull, what a cool dude. Although personally I’m more of a No Tech Hoverboard kind of guy.
Griff calls Biff Gramps
That’s just funny to me.
How does Griff feel about Phantom Menace
I feel like Griff is very excited about the Phantom Menace turning 25
Griff's Emergency Bat
The dude just carries around an extendable bat with him at all times. Like is he a mob boss or something?
Griff Etymology
Griff, short for Griffin, is derived from the Welsh name Gruffudd meaning “the lord’s strong grip”. That is what’s Google gave me and I’m not gonna question it.
Griff Tannen
Griff Tannen wears steel-horned boots.
Love that about him.
Lego Griff
What do I have to do to make this a real Lego mini figure.
Novel Description
“He [Griff] turned and looked at Marty, with a gaze that held no kindness, no humor, no mercy-only contempt that something as low as a McFly should sully the face of the Earth.”
from Back to the Future II by Craig Shaw Gardner (quote, page 32).
Lifted from the wiki, so ominous.
Seattle Griff
Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture has Griff’s Pitbull hover board and his friend Data’s No Tech Hover board.
The squad
I decided to change things up a bit and dedicate this post to Griff’s epic friend group, consisting of Chester “Whitey” Nogura, Rafe “Data” Unger, and Leslie “Spike” O’Malley.
What a bunch of upstanding youths who would be like in their mid-late 20s now.
Griff’s Whip
A heavily modified, hover-converted, orange and black 1976 BMW 633CSI
Tannen etymology
An English surname with the meaning of leather tanner. The name also has roots the the German word Tanne, or Fir tree.
Griff’s dad
He is the most logical answer to who Griff’s dad is.
The timeline would imply that he had Griff at like 17, but you know that might line up for the Tannen family.
Why?
Today I’m wondering, why does Griff pick on Marty Jr. specifically? Heck why is there always a Tannen picking on a McFly in every generation besides Marty (and Seamus since he didn’t really let himself get bullied)? Is there some predisposed hatred? A prophecy made centuries before? Or is each generation just so petty about it that they tell their kid or grandkid to beat on whichever McFly, or McFly adjacent in Biff Jr’s case, they go to school with?
